kDThe sgtars are for the asstrologers to understand seasons and sometimes signes. It is explained in the Word but not in great detail. Astrology then is not the hocus pocus it isnow. There really was a language of the stars that certain folks were given to understand, it isin the Book.
There is a difference between "Astrology", and "Astronomy"
#1 Astrology: is the divination of the supposed influences of the stars upon human affairs and terrestrial events by their positions and aspects: and an "astrologer" is one who practices divination to forecast future events fortunes by use of astrology
Astrology is an occult practice of divination of the future, and/or of fortunes whether good or evil, which the Lord God forbade
#2 Astronomy: the science of the celestial bodies and of their magnitudes, motion and constitution
and an "astronomer" is one who is skilled in astronomy, or who makes observations of celestial phenomena
Astronomy is science of natural study of the Sun, the Moon, the Stars, Comets, Nebulae, Dying Stars, and not for divination of peoples futures.
Some famous ancient Astronomers: Pythagoras (570-495 BC); Eratosthenes (276-194 BC); Aristarchus of Samos (circa 230 BC); Hipparchus (190-120 BC); Ptolemy (or Claudius Ptolemais; 100 AD - 170 AD)
